    How is it FREE .

    But the success of these deals is the fact that people can keep on paying €250 per month continuously and always have a relatively new car. Most people don't care that they never really own the car and are just technically leasing it. When the 3 years is up, they get a brand new car for roughly...

    Bank of Ireland's Life Loan on Joe Duffy

    Why let the facts get in the way of a good moan/rant though!

    Bank of Ireland's Life Loan on Joe Duffy

    I had to stop listening to the show just as John Lowe came on, but the case of the 20 becoming 180 was before he was on, so perhaps it wasn't brought up again to him. I'm sure he would have shot it down if he had been asked. Joe's dragging plenty of airtime out of this topic for sure, looks...

    Joe Duffy Show on Whole of Life/Investment policies

    Just listening to the show again, and its so clear that the majority of the public do not understand different financial products. Callers are coming on and making incorrect statements and not being challenged on them. Many do not seem to understand the simple concept of what an insurance policy...

    Bank of Ireland's Life Loan on Joe Duffy

    Looking at what I assume this David fella was saying on Liveline (if Bronte's post 56 is true) then did he really understand the loan, or is he just arguing a case that suits him now?

    How about Eddie Hobbs for our next MOF?

    Not sure what all this has to do with Eddie Hobbs, so I'll make a point to get us back on topic. Was Eddie Hobbs not doing adverts telling us to buy Bulgarian properties just before the crash?

    Joe Duffy Show on Whole of Life/Investment policies

    Its not the first subject that Joe would have pontificated on which he doesn't fully understand. I hate listening to Joe when he loads his show with callers to suit his agenda and argument. As soon as anyone would come on to argue against it and point out the error of their logic, they are...

    Strategies to avoid losing tenants while selling house.

    I knocked €50 per month off the rent to keep them, in case the house didn't sell. It did.

    Use of mobile phones whilst driving

    Using the phone whilst driving is now so common it would be easy to catch people imho. I see people each and every time I am out driving. Surely the Guards can too.

    Do other countries pay citizens to get buried, or help with the cost?

    Getting a Stable/Half Door made ~ some questions

    Have a split front door myself, unusual but I like it. Nice in the summer that you can open the top bit and know that the kids can't get out.

    The first CD/cassette/record, etc you ever purchased?

    Vinyl copy of Madness 'Complete Madness' in 1981 or 82 I think. http://www.amazon.co.uk/Complete-Madness/dp/B001SGVDXS/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1354660820&sr=8-1 What a band.

    Different types of coal

    Can anyone quickly explain the difference in the coal that is advertised in the local press, as I am about to buy a load for the winter and was wondering if there is much difference in it all. I have a list that includes (price per 40kg) premium (be it Polish or Colombian) 13.50 economy 11.50...

    Receiving money from a lottery winner - taxable?

    Thanks for that. What if the winner wanted to clear my mortgage for me? Any comeback on that?

    Ireland will be mocked if it brings in silly superstitious 113 & 213 number plates.

    The car registration for Derry is of the format ?UI 1234, with the 1st letter changing each cycle. A few years back they skipped FUI, thinking it sounded rude. Now thats stupid.

    Receiving money from a lottery winner - taxable?

    You probably opened this to see how much I'm getting, well sorry but its only a hypothetical question that popped into my head. More's the pity, eh. If a friend of mine won the Euromillions jackpot and wanted to give me a few million, would it be taxed?

    Finland's Unorthodox Education System

    This thread is again full of the anti-teacher sentiment that is rife in this country. They are probably Public Enemy No.1 now among the public service. I am originally from NI, and we were always under the impression that Irish educated children were very well qualified. A lot of people I have...
